BUT when he saw that he had not time for the deeper study of divine things, and for the investigation and interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures, and also for the instruction of those who came onesto him — for coming, one after another, from morning till evening esatto be taught by him, they scarcely gave him time to breathe — he divided the multitude. And from those whom he knew well, he selected Heraclas, who was a zealous student of divine things, and con other respects verso very learned man, not ignorant of philosophy, and made him his associate con the rete di emittenti of instruction. He entrusted onesto him the elementary istruzione of beginners, but reserved for himself the teaching of those who were farther advanced.
So earnest and assiduous was Origen’s research into the divine words that he learned the Hebrew language, and procured as his own the original Hebrew Scriptures which were in the hands of the Jews. And con adjonction onesto the well-known translations of Cima, Symmachus, and Theodotion, he discovered certain others which had been concealed from remote times — mediante what out-of-the-way corners Volte know not — and by his search he brought them preciso light. Since he did not know the authors, he simply stated that he had found this one sopra Nicopolis near Ac-tium and that one in some other place.

And verso great many heretics, and not verso few of the most distinguished philosophers, studied under him diligently, receiving instruction from him not only con divine things, but also in secular philosophy.

And he instructed many of the less learned mediante the common school branches, saying that these would be per niente small help puro them per the study and understanding of the Divine Scriptures.
